What is privacy ?
Privacy is FOSS + your skills.
You can sell hardware, service, education, but not privacy. Privacy is something, that belongs to you only.
Privateness is a non-profit project or charity project, that means a base of Privateness are volunteers, enthusiasts and their donations. The example of non-profit projects are Linux (including most Linux distros), Mozilla, Apache and other FOSS projects.

I realized that our main mistake is to follow other crypto-developers and mix charity with financial pyramid. The bright example of a pure financial pyramid is Dogecoin. Other example is Bitcoin which started as non-profit project (world wide non-fiat currency) and ended as financial pyramid. FOSS is a charity which can join the dark side. You can’t invent something for people and make profit out of it, creationism is not about profit and money. You can make profit from owning something (labour, factory, servers, real-estate or other peoples data).
